person be a a. good spy The spy might have e to vamp some That we can n understand Mme Mine looks too toos s soulful looking to represent the t type pe Nevertheless less they say spies really have

Speaking of or looking the thc part can there be a blonde vampire Arent Aren't the they all brunettes Sigh of oC relief from all the blondes Screen vamps are generally dark haired dark and eyed dark

Alas real vampires often meet with a sad end Vampire spies certainly have had hard luck when the they served ser the former Kaiser Mme Mine accused accused accused ac ac- ac- ac as a spy died die before anything could be wrung from her her and and no one accused her captors Scores of oC Teutonic women spies have e mysteriously died or disappeared It was called part of or the Kaisers Kaiser's system to see seo that his women spies died when nhen the they had done what was wanted of them them- whether they were captured or not It sounds like the Lucretia Borgia business and maybe a state of ot mind that could plan the ugliest kind of a a. spy system could plan death as a perfectly ethical incident inci dent But we are arc not talking about honest good ness vampires but ut rather lather

you can m explain explain ex ex- plain the tho fact that in most respects she he doesn't seem to be s so o very cry much different from what an nn anold old old fashioned fashioned world used to call
